But this does not work. Resetting the perspective doesn't show any help
view. Using the menu item of eclipse for "Dynamic Help" works fine, i.e.
shows the help view. My intention was to show the dynamic help as
default in the perspective. Any ideas to achieve that or why this
doesn't work?

Thanks in advance,

What you did is correct in that it will position the
"org.eclipse.help.ui.HelpView". However, the perspective does not open a
view.

You mentioned that it is your RCP application so you will have an
implementation of WorkbenchAdvisor. Use it to open the
"org.eclipse.help.ui.HelpView" view in WorkbenchAdvisor#postStartup().

thank you for your answer. I want the help view to be opened when
resetting the perspective (this implies that the view should also be
opened on first start up of my application). So, the code you posted
works, but opens the view every time the workbench is started. Any ideas?

Sorry for the delay. Could you listen for a WorkbenchWindow CHANGE_RESET or
CHANGE_RESET_COMPLETE event?
